As me, as I

She is as fast as I or she is as fast as me? Which is correct. I believe it to be She is as fast as I, but I so often hear and see "as me"....

You are correct: it should be "as I" in this case. You see and hear incorrect instances of "as me" so frequently only because English speakers have a lot of bad habits.

Ask yourself, would you say, "she is as fast as I am," or would you say "she is as fast as me am"?

I believe that the response above is incorrect. My opinion is:

A rule in English is that a preposition always takes an object. The word "as" is a preposition and must take an "object". The word "me" is an object. The word "I" is not an object

"As" is an adverb not a preposition. Your analysis is flawed.

"as" is never an adverb.

I dare you to do type into google: "define: as"

Adverb:Used in comparisons to refer to the extent or degree of something: "hailstones as big as tennis *****".

Yes, it can be, as well as a conjunction, pronoun or preposition. Just look in the dictionary:

She is as fast as me.
She can run as fast as I (can run)

In the first instance "as me" compares her with me.
In the second instance, "as I" compares what she can do, with what I can do.

Pretty sure it is more along the lines of: she is as I am.. so.. she is as fast as I am
